Maretti Langhe Nebbiolo 2022 (Italy)

Description

Cherry, Oak, Spice

This 2022 Langhe Nebbiolo opens with aromas of red cherry, rose, and a touch of
earthy spice. The palate is structured and vibrant, with bright acidity, fine tannins, and a long,
elegant finish that highlights its classic Langhe character.

Piedmont, in the foothills of the Alps in the north west of Italy, is home to the country’s finest full-bodied red wines. The greatest wines are made from the extremely long lived Nebbiolo. Sourced from vineyards in the small commune of Castiglione Falletto in Piedmon.

The 2022 vintage in Langhe was characterised by a warm, dry growing season, producing healthy yields and wines with notable concentration and structure. Reds show deep colour, rich fruit, and well-integrated tannins, while whites exhibit vibrant acidity and aromatic intensity, making it a strong year for the region.

Vinified in open fermenters with daily pumpovers. The Nebbiolo is immediately separated from skins for pressing after a short maceration period. The fruit is matured independently in a mix of small French oak casks and large Slavenion oak for eight months before blending and a further four months ageing in large oak casks.
